  1. No. I know about it too.
  2. What is the body made from?
  3. ...and I second that recommendation. The movable pads help it hold any bass very well.
  4. Perhaps the bands this guy is putting on just aren't very good.
  5. I use the Pitch Fork too. You can select min/Maj 2 and Maj3, Perf 4 and 5, Maj6, min7, 1, 2 and 3 octaves above. You can also choose to have that note on its own or mix it in with the instrument tone. Faultless tracking too. The Boss harmoniser can also do that but can work within your own selected key.
  6. Bolt-on fretted S2 with no lights would probably sell privately for around £12-1300 as a rough guide. Judging by used prices on the other two on the net I'd say strip the PRS out the equation.
  7. Well Marcus Bell works there, is a big Status fan and inhabits these parts.
  8. It does have free UK shipping. It costs a lot to throw a package around a delivery depot (allegedly).
  9. I like that. Quite quirky in a good way. Given a like.
  10. Blimey! The quality gets better every month.
  11. Impressive stuff. Love the EWI, fits in really well.
  12. I use the TC Electronic Hall of Fame. Lovely warm tone to it and simple to use. If you want it simpler still with only one knob to turn try the Hall of Fame mini. Both have the advantage of the Tone Print so endless editing possibilities.
  13. And here's the building process. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgvWTZCrXYM
  14. Well I'm getting old. At least that's my excuse.

    Status offer a number of different onboard pre amps so there will be something that fits your bill. Speak to Dawn on the phone, she's a font of knowledge.
  16. [quote name='BassBus' timestamp='1473000179' post='3125891'] You can also play three different [b]root and fifths[/b] in one position on a fiver. [/quote] What I meant to say was root and octave. Doh! I would go along with alyctes. I use fivers tuned E-C. I don't like a low B, bit to floppy in tone and feel for me. With a high C you can play chords much more easily without them sounding muddy as they would tuned B-G. Some might disagree. Equally not everyone will need this option.
  17. You can also play three different root and fifths in one position on a fiver. You can't do that on a four. Bet you play it for the whole set and never know the difference by the end of it.

    The five string Status neck is a lot rounder than the four string. Still just as good though. Don't know if you have seen the headed fiver on sale on Statii.com http://www.statii.com/forum/forum/viewthread.php?thread_id=6267&pid=54607#post_54607
  19. [quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1472808644' post='3124384'] Not now... [/quote] Oh I don't know. Lawrence Cottle, Janek Gwizdala, Gary Willis, Mark Egan, Kevin Glasgow, Damien Erskine, Dominique di Piaza, Steve Lawson. They are just the ones I know about. There are many other top quality players who are developing the instrument who don't get public adulation.
  20. Thanks. Fripp does use the Sustainer in his guitars so it might sound similar. I lean more towards Steve Hackett who always uses it to good effect.
  21. Fresh from its part in the August composition challenge here is a video version of my entry. Managed to get a nice sunny day to film in the garden. Better than being stuck indoors. PARENTAL GUIDANCE! There is absolutely no bass content in this whatsoever, none, nothing, ziltch, zero. You have been warned. http://youtu.be/55lbDIC8-cc
  22. Second time I've taken part in this and good fun again. I'm always amazed at the quality of music that comes out each time. Thanks to all who voted for my piece and thanks for the great comments on Soundcloud. Much appreciated.
  23. [quote name='lowdown' timestamp='1472496313' post='3121602'] I will be listening tomorrow, so another three votes from me. After all, I don't fancy leaving my head in a wicker basket. I have been legless a few times in the distant past, but headless ? That's a whole new ball game. [/quote] Doubt you'll be headless. You'll be too high. The rate your track is going you will be heads, hands and feet above all of us.
